Laptop Wifi

Hi, I want to know if there is a configuration to connect 2 laptops without a router, using only the wlan card of one of the laptops as access point?

NetworkManager supports Ad Hoc mode, though I’ve never tried using it.

Good luck.

You can either set up an Ad-Hoc network, or use hostapd to make one of the
machines into an access point. Not all wireless drivers will work as an AP.

OK, thanks, I’ll try it
